Just a random Bitcoiner.

Yes yes I know.

I meant the sign which said "GOD took..."

Yet, it (probably) wasn't God

It depends.

I would use a Lightning PWA that hold my keys, but not a PWA that holds my Nostr private key. Willing to risk loosing a few Sats, but not my identity.

nostr:npub167n5w6cj2wseqtmk26zllc7n28uv9c4vw28k2kht206vnghe5a7stgzu3r has the ambition to become the largest bitcoin event in Europe.

Let's make Prague a place where people use bitcoin to the fullest.

Wouldn't you 🧡 love to see as many local businesses as possible in Prague accepting #bitcoin? Let's join forces to make this happen.

The city currently has 33 confirmed locations where you can pay with bitcoin. And it’s growing every day 🔥

Help us reach more businesses by sharing these Czech instructions here, but especially on your socials outside bitcoin Twitter 🙏

The cool kids go to Pizza Day Prague 👊

Nuts boiling ze ocean

Let me think... A fully public append-only log of potentially most/all our social activity, all linked to the same pubkey, which offers only very weak pseudonymity

What could possibly 🤔 wrong?

This should exist:

txtr - A Bitcoin transaction relay network over Nostr

A plebian underground network of Bitcoin nodes that relay each other's transactions upon encountering them on Nostr. This should not aim to be part of Bitcoin Core and therefore also should not look for explicit support.

What it achieves:

- Removes the ability of chainalysis companies to determine which IP a transaction originated from (they achieve this via millions of P2P connections and other timing-based methods).

- What Dandelion does but without the DDoS vector.

Here is how it could work:

- You run the txtr daemon locally next to your Bitcoin Core.

- All txtr daemons publish Bitcoin transactions on nostr and listen for transactions from other users.

- When you want to make a tx on your Bitcoin Core, you don't send it over the P2P network but via txtr which publishes the tx on Nostr.

- If any txtr daemon encounters a Bitcoin tx on Nostr, it sends it to the Bitcoin network over the P2P connections of the local Bitcoin Core client.

Interesting properties:

- Only your relay knows your IP which you can easily hide.

- You could be connected to tens or even hundreds of relays, you can switch as often as you like. Permanence does not matter in this context.

- You can publish every tx from a new pubkey. Identities do not matter in this context.

- Depending on the tx volume on a particular relay, your txtr daemon could randomly chose to relay some txs and some not, you don't need to cooperate therefore you can't be DDoS'd.

Transactions transmitted over relays - txtr

Generelly a cool idea. But wouldn't we achieve the same thing by simply *publishing* our txs via a rotating set of "reputable" Electrum servers?

Say Sparrow had the option to set two Electrum servers: A for incoming/validating (my own node), B for outgoing/publishing (Craig's curated list of public Electrum nodes. Blockstream, Emzy etc)

No need for extra daemons, reliance on a extra network infra etc

Works for me. It depends on your country settings I believe

No there are separate international Visa cards as well.

But there is some extra fee (i think 2%) when you spend

Too bad.

Can't use these virtual cards irl unless w Google / Apple Pay, which i don't have

Wait, that have *physical* cards now?? Worldwide, or US only?
